@Jose123,
Our team spent years researching and experimenting in order to achieve this feat and we arrived at our special curriculum and approach. Please read below some salient points in our strategy:

1. We said "our participants learn so much in the 10-weeks in software development than they have in their entire 4-year stay in the higher institution..." Because having studied our polytechnics/ universities curriculum we discovered that the number of credit units allotted to software development-related courses, the students will spend about 100 hours coding ( if at all they are devoted) but at out bootcamp for the 10- weeks they spend about 600hours ( i.e 300 hours on-site and about 300 - 350hours outside the classroom ( if they devote 4-5hr daily))

2. There is a huge difference between someone that is going to an unknown destination with a map and one that has a guide who has plied the same route over and over again. It is obvious the one with a guide will get there faster and less stressed. That is our approach, it is not a mere academic process but an apprenticeship. Our trainers are experienced developers and with their mentorship, the participants will achieve what would have taken them years in some few weeks.

You can not generalize until you have experienced our training or have someone that has attended any of our bootcamp say so. Our participants' testimonials ( some are on our website), http://moatacademy.com/ negate your assertions.

@Antiwailer, just as we said you cannot generalise based on your past experience. The mere fact that you can not do a thing doesn't mean it cannot be done.

The "Wright brothers" were not given a chance but they did it by inventing the airplane. In fact , until recent nobody believed there could be a driver-less car.

We are an enabler and we are out to remove the bottlenecks. Gone are the days where people thought to be a software developer is a rocket science or you must be a geek or mathematician, we have been in this business for years and we can boldly say - software development is just like any other trade that can be learnt.

Our team spent years researching and experimenting in order to achieve this feat and we arrived at our special curriculum and approach. Please read below some salient points in our strategy:

1. We said "our participants learn so much in the 10-weeks in software development than they have in their entire 4-year stay in the higher institution..." Because having studied our polytechnics/ universities curriculum we discovered that the number of credit units allotted to software development-related courses, the students will spend about 100 hours coding ( if at all they are devoted) but at out bootcamp for the 10- weeks they spend about 600hours ( i.e 300 hours on-site and about 300 - 350hours outside the classroom ( if they devote 4-5hr daily))

2. There is a huge difference between someone that is going to an unknown destination with a map and one that has a guide who has plied the same route over and over again. It is obvious the one with a guide will get there faster and less stressed. That is our approach, it is not a mere academic process but an apprenticeship. Our trainers are experienced developers and with their mentorship, the participants will achieve what would have taken them years in some few weeks.

3. Technology as we know is ever-changing. In the past, some developers used punch cards , which is no longer relevant in the scheme of things today. What you taught on coding 11 years ago will no longer relevant in the scheme of things today ( because programming has gone well beyond that and the servers and other hardwares have been updated). Programming is not in the matters of years but in what you can do now , so we teach our participants how to learn in a progressive manner and keep themselves abreast of the ever-changing technology even after they have left our bootcamp. With the strong foundation, they will make landmark achievements!

@Antiwailer, we are very suprised with your comments.

AntiWailer:
Stop over promising and Under delivering.

... This is an allegation that is unfounded as you have never patronised us or undergone any our training, to have come about this. Our participants testimonials, with some on on our website, http://moatacademy.com/ negate your assertions.

It is wrong to generalise, based on your past experience or what other training centres offer. We offer a project-based training that is unique in the country. With what we equip participants with, we don't expect them to beg for jobs or get stranded after the training (If you have the necessary skills to do the job... then you can get the job!). Even before leaving our bootcamp they are already building their portfolio and in fact they will deliver a web application of their choice as their final bootcamp project( for instance for the present batch we have someone building an e-learning platform , an online ordering system and so on).

For better understanding of how we tackle unemployment, kindly go through our article- the unemployed and the unemployable applicants... http://moatacademy.com/blog/2016/12/04/employable-applicant/

Our focus in the 3rd week at the boot camp was on building responsive websites. Our participants learnt a lot about bootstrap "classes" and were able to lay out their web pages to make websites that can adapt to the screen size of any device, through their week-three take-home assignment. We are featuring some of them today. Please check out:

http://moatacademy.com/week3/christydee/ - a sample website for photography

http://moatacademy.com/week3/babies/ - a sample website for babies products

I remember Chief Ebenezer Obey’s song: “Christmas is coming Baba buy Shoes for me , oh la , oh la, oh la…” so funny as it may sound,lol; I sang that song year in, year out partly because most of the gifts bought during Christmas season don’t even last till the next Christmas, they are mostly tangible: they either fade out in beauty or got damage and I had to start looking forward to the next Christmas gift.

Many of us may want to give our loved ones gift for the season, there is a gift that stands the test of time and this is about investing in their future!

At Moat Academy, we believe in the saying that “give a man a fish and you feed him a day, when you teach him to fish, you are giving him an occupation that will feed him a lifetime”. Why not empower yourself, your child or sibling or spouse or bae with the skills that will boast their career at Moat Academy for Developers.

For those who are familiar with us, they know that our boot camp equips our trainees with the necessary skills that we make them job-ready. They learn so much in the 10-weeks in software development than they have done in their entire 4-year or more stay in the higher institution as our approach is 100% practical and job-oriented.

Our curriculum have been designed in a way to fit in the missing link between the university and the industry so that our graduands can hit the ground from day one and run in any software company in the world; making them highly demanded professionals by employers.

Now, wait to hear this: the music will change next year to “Christmas is coming Baba, I want to buy shoes for you, oh la , oh la , oh la…”

The next batch of training starts by February 7th 2017, register at www.moatacademy.com . Enroll by January 7 and save N10,000.00 on your tuition.

The unemployed and the employable applicant: A chasm between the academics and the industry

Sometime ago I worked with a corporate organization and there was a need to recruit more hands in my unit so the application process was opened up to the public. We had several applications pouring in, day in and out; short listings were done and interviews were carried out but yet we could not find suitable applicants for the jobs as weeks went by, even months! Then I came to a conclusion that it is paradoxical that in a country where we have high level of unemployment, employers still find it difficult getting suitable hands to fill up skilled labour vacancies.

Coming home to the software industry, take a search through most job listing sites in the country, you will find a large number of unfilled vacancies for software developers; yet we have a large number of computer science graduates unemployed. This point has buttressed by the case of a female computer science graduate that carried a placard on Lekki expressway soliciting for jobs. The most alarming part of this scenario is that such job adverts run for months - meaning the company is finding it difficult getting suitable hands for the jobs thereby incurring more cost on their recruitment process.

Where lies the problem, and what are the solutions? It is unarguably true that there is a chasm between the tertiary institutions’ curriculum and the industry’s needs. While everybody believes the university community is to groom the youths for the job market; yet its curriculum is more theoretical than it can be applied immediately to solve real life challenges. And, that is where the industry generates their revenue: from solving real life problems. The industry is a highly demanding environment where newly recruits should hit the ground and run, they want youths that will from the first day start solving real life problems. The fair truth is that the tertiary institutions have done their own bits; the focus of the university/polytechnic is to churn out youths that are well refined for the society: vast in different subjects’ areas. Its curriculum usually digresses into subjects which are not primarily focused at solving a particular industry’s need.

How do we bridge this gap? At Moat Academy we have come as an intermediate in bridging this consequential chasm so that the unemployed can be armed with skills that can solve real life problems thus making them fits for the industry’s need. Our approach is more of an apprenticeship where you learn software developments from experts in the field and it is 100% practical and job-oriented.
